  • Average price per square foot sold in Big Bear during the past 30 days is $185.38
  • Average days on the market are 90, but the median is on 38. This indicates most homes are selling in less than 45 days.

Always give the buyer a counter offer to accept, regardless of how low their offer is.. 

  • 101 of the homes sold were traditional resale, 13 were foreclosures, and 7 were short sales.

Foreclosures and short sales can be good deals, but shouldn’t be what you are looking for.
